Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
1Quid ergo dicemus? permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet?
2Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
2Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?
3Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
3an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?
4We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
4Consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem: ut quomodo Christus surrexit a mortuis per gloriam Patris, ita et nos in novitate vitæ ambulemus.
5For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.
5Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectionis erimus.
6We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
6Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.
7For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
7Qui enim mortuus est, justificatus est a peccato.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
8Si autem mortui sumus cum Christo, credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo,
9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
9scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis jam non moritur: mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
10Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
11Ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
12Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis ejus.
13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
13Sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato: sed exhibete vos Deo, tamquam ex mortuis viventes: et membra vestra arma justitiæ Deo.
14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
14Peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur: non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
15Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.
16Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
16Nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad obediendum, servi estis ejus, cui obeditis, sive peccati ad mortem, sive obeditionis ad justitiam?
17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
17Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinæ, in quam traditi estis.
18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
18Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis justitiæ.
19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
19Humanum dico, propter infirmitatem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire immunditiæ, et iniquitati ad iniquitatem, ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire justitiæ in sanctificationem.
20For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
20Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis justitiæ.
21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
21Quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubescitis? nam finis illorum mors est.
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
22Nunc vero liberati a peccato, servi autem facti Deo, habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem, finem vero vitam æternam.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23Stipendia enim peccati, mors. Gratia autem Dei, vita æterna, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
